[0034] To address the issues of existing automotive dashboard frames, such as their simplistic structure, poor connectivity, and inability to maintain long-term stability during practical use, please refer to... Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides the following technical solution:
[0035] Below the main frame beam 1, there is a left end plate 101 of the instrument panel crossbeam. The left end plate 101 of the instrument panel crossbeam is movably connected to the main frame beam 1 and the first hollow sleeve 103 via spring hinges. A second spring telescopic rod 303 is installed at one end of the second hollow sleeve 302. The second spring telescopic rod 303 is used to position the right end plate 3 of the center console.

Both the fixing bracket 304 and the flexible buckle 301 are used to fix the right side end plate 3 of the center console and the body frame. The flexible buckle 301 is used for quick installation. The main frame beam 1, the top plate of the instrument panel 2, the right side end plate of the center console 3 and the front plate of the instrument panel 4 are fully coordinated and combined to adapt to the working intensity.
[0039] Specifically, the first hollow sleeve 103 and the second hollow sleeve 302 provide support and connection. After being subjected to external pressure and assembled, they can be limited by spring hinges, thereby cooperating with the top plate of the instrument panel 2 to adapt to the high-intensity working environment. This allows the main frame beam 1, the top plate of the instrument panel 2, the right end plate of the center console 3, and the front plate of the instrument panel 4 to work together fully to adapt to the working intensity. The hollow part 201 reduces the weight of the top plate of the instrument panel 2 to improve the installation effect.

By installing the instrument panel top plate 2, the center console right end plate 3, and the instrument panel front plate 4 on the main frame beam 1 respectively, the instrument panel frame is assembled and installed, facilitating installation and disassembly for maintenance and repair of local areas. The structure is stable, easy to use, and convenient to operate. The instrument panel top plate 2, the center console right end plate 3, and the instrument panel front plate 4 are connected by the pressure rod 307 and the pressure plate 403, thereby improving the installation strength. The main frame beam 1 and the instrument panel front plate 4 are nested by the first spring telescopic rod 104 to maintain positional stability and adapt to long-term work. The first hollow sleeve 103 and the second hollow sleeve 302 provide support connection. Under external pressure and after installation and assembly, the spring hinge can limit the movement, thus cooperating with the instrument panel top plate 2 to adapt to high-intensity working environments. The main frame beam 1, the instrument panel top plate 2, the center console right end plate 3, and the instrument panel front plate 4 work together fully to adapt to the working intensity. The hollow part 201 reduces the weight of the instrument panel top plate 2, thereby improving the installation effect.
